Question
A key issue in this industrial process is its reliance on extreme conditions such as 250 atmospheres of pressure and a temperature of around 450 degrees Celsius. For 10 points each:
[10e] Name this doubly-eponymous industrial process that generates the vast majority of ammonia globally.
ANSWER: Haber-Bosch process [or Bosch-Haber process]
[10m] This process may provide a greener way to generate hydrogen for ammonia production compared to high-pressure steam methane reforming. This process requires a potential of 1.23 volts, and its reverse occurs in hydrogen fuel cells.
ANSWER: electrolysis of water [or water splitting; accept answers indicating an electrochemical splitting of water; prompt on oxidation of water]
[10h] The Schüth group has investigated the use of this field of chemistry in ammonia production by ball-milling its iron catalyst with cesium powder. Dioxetane groups are often used as force probes in this field of chemistry.
ANSWER: mechanochemistry [accept polymer mechanochemistry]
